Horoscope Poem
I opened the app like an envelope
Looked at it hard like a telescope
I put my life under the microscope
As I sat and read my horoscope
I’m not one to be naive
And I know they are written to deceive
I did not know what they meant to achieve
Yet today I started to believe
My prediction for the day did so read:
‘A stranger will do you a good deed
And thanks to them you will succeed’
I locked my phone and shock my head
I did not believe what I had read
So I got in my car and drove to my date
With my darling, my lover, my soulmate
After dinner I got down to one knee
And asked if she wanted to marry me
But leave it to me to forget one thing
I realised to late that I forgot the ring
Then I felt a tap on the shoulder
Saw a diamond ring the size of a boulder
Offered to me by a man much older
‘He must be from my horoscope’ I told her
I thanked him many times but I must digress
I was sweaty and nervous I do confess
But thankfully my love did say yes
My horoscope somehow fortold my success
